I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Fred Meyer (Portland, OR) in Sept 2013
Interview
There was only one interview; a group interview that was relatively painless. The woman leading the interview was extremely pleasant and handled the process well. It did seem to take an inordinate amount of time from my first interview to when they contacted me to offer the position.

What are your special qualities that differentiate you from other prospective employees?
I applied online. I interviewed at Fred Meyer (Medford, OR) in Mar 2017
Interview
I was interviewed 1 on 1 for around 20 minutes. Interviewer was incredibly friendly and didn't make me feel ridiculous when I misunderstood a question. I felt comfortable during the interview and it felt like a conversation rather than like I was being schooled at a game of 20 questions.
I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Fred Meyer (Olympia, WA) in May 2016
Interview
I went to hiring event. Talked to HR manager. He asked me a few questions, mostly what job I am looking for and why, my availability etc He took my resume and called me back next day to schedule another interview where he asked a lot more questions. We discussed my experience, my expectations from this job, their expectations from me and I got hired. I did drug test and filled some papers right there and then.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Fred Meyer (Meridian, ID) in May 2016
Interview
The interviewer was very friendly, courteous, and kind. The interview took place in an unused break or meeting room where oddly there was a customer (or off-duty employee) sitting for the first few minutes. Previous interviewees came out in less than ten minutes; I was in for well over 30 minutes.

Question 1
I remember "how do you feel about change?" and "do you see yourself as a leader type?"
